Answer

Chauvihar aur Tivihar dono Jain Dharma ke aahar-niyam hain, khaas kar raat ke samay.

• Chauvihar: Isme bhojan ke saath-saath paani bhi tyag diya jata hai.
• Tivihar: Isme bhojan ka tyag hota hai, lekin paani peena anumati hota hai.

Explanation

Chauvihar ka arth hai chaar prakaar ke aahar ka tyag:

• Anna / bhojan
• Paani
• Mukhwas ya anya khadya vastu
• Kisi bhi prakaar ka peene-yogya padarth

Saral bhaasha mein: Chauvihar ke baad kuch bhi khana-peena nahi hota, paani bhi nahi.

Tivihar ka arth hai teen prakaar ke aahar ka tyag:

• Anna / bhojan
• Mukhwas ya khadya vastu
• Doodh, juice, chai, sharbat jaise peene-yogya padarth

Lekin paani peena allowed hota hai, maryada ke anusaar.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma mein raat ka bhojan tyagna ahimsa, sanyam aur indriya-nigrah ka abhyas maana jata hai.

• Chauvihar adhik kathor aur uchch sanyam maana jata hai.
• Tivihar bhi bahut shubh niyam hai, lekin usme paani ki chhoot hoti hai.

Takeaway

Short difference:

• Chauvihar: Khana bhi nahi, paani bhi nahi.
• Tivihar: Khana nahi, par paani allowed hai.
